International Studies - Political Affairs Concentration

For the Political Affairs concentration, students must complete twelve hours in the
language. Students with previous foreign language experience may petition the Department
of English and World Languages for advanced placement and credit. Petitioners will
be given written and/or oral examinations by a foreign language faculty member who
will then recommend an appropriate foreign language placement level based on university
policy. The department head and dean must approve the determined placement level.
Students who have omitted one or more courses in the basic language sequence will
receive credit for omitted courses when they have validated their advanced placement
by passing the course into which they are placed with a grade of "C" or better.
